Chinese authorities certainly know how to put on a spectacle, and as a result thousands flock to see the condemned moments before they are shot in the back of the head and dismembered for organs.

The authorities have a particularly uncompromising approach with respect to the condemned – crossing out their names with red ink certainly reinforces their point.

Chinese justice is of course swift, which the masses in more developed places tend to laud, but it is also imprecise and often targeted at those guilty of political crimes; just how many innocents are executed is not known. For that matter, even the total number of executions carried out is a state secret…

Below you can see the actual process of an execution, although of course 15 years and the need for organs has seen the process refined since then (mobile death vans are now in operation in parts of China, although they don’t help to recover organs by the sound of things).

Wrong. if you think this is bad take a closer look at the middle east.

Afghan, 9/11 and US attack, with the Taliban government, used to have public stonings as half-time shows for their soccer games. And these arnt crimes like say, Murder. these would be things like Adultury, women showing their face in public without an escort, and so on.

In reality, it's humanity as a whole that has become depraved, you read this article and reply with such a comment, thinking youself to be high above this "filth". the fact of the matter is, you yourself are no better for reading this article and writing such a response.

Just to stop any possible responses about hypocricy, I myself realize that I am corrupted, and that goes for the rest of humanity. if you dont realize this, you are the true victim here.

true... but a country such as China, that's aiming to embrace modern culture and to be recognized internationally, comitting this kind of acts i nothing short of disgraceful...

There's worse thing happening around the world, at Middle East and Africa, heck! even back at my own country at Indonesia, churces are being burnt with the priest and family left inside to be toasted together, and the government does nothing about it... it's the truth and i'm not exaggerating it...

But this is China we're talking about, a nation aspiring to place themselves at respectable position in the world stage.. an emerging superpower, who unlike soviet, trying to approach in different way, not just thrugh military and nukes...

To display this kind of spectacles... put aside the debate whether these people are innocent or not, just the fact that they masquerade prisoners that on death rows in front of civilians, barbaric, that's all i can say..

The civilians were, in fact just watching the convicted criminals being paraded around the streets. the actual executions, always take place in an undisclosed location, and these are NOT public events, as the article led you to believe.

The pictures of the execution are from 1995, 14 years ago.

so, instead of calling "biased" on this article, it should rather be a fabrication of something that didnt happen.

"become depraved" <-Implying humanity was originally a noble and empathetic species incapable of sadism and senseless violence.

Fact of the matter is, we're basically still primates. Higher primates capable of higher thought and which evolution has graced with the capacity for reason and compassion, but at our base core we are still the same barbaric savage half-evolved beasts we were 50,000 years ago. We even have the evolutionary vestiges to prove it.

The point I'm trying to make is: humanity as a species still has a long, long way to go.

Wow, this is reminiscent of the middle ages, where thousands would throng to witness bloody murder. Nice to see China has finally progressed to the stage of barbaric butchery. Who knows where they'll go next...

Goddamn, sometimes the US and other western nations really bug the hell outta me, but it's when I look at China that I'm damn glad to be an American.

the execution was of course never made public and never that brutal, its their inhuman crime that made ppl there want to criticise(or out of curiosity or whatever)and thus the throng,,

the pics below(which only god and artefact knows where and when they are taken/from) just gave you the wrong impression you felt now
in this sense, u cant but admit this is such a wonderful,convincing and successful propaganda or article if you insist..

Executions in general are bad, not only in China. There is no such thing as a person who deserves death because that is a cheap way out, and a suicider's dream. The villains you see in movies are nothing like the real criminals in the real world, because the criminals in the real world are normal people who had been the victim of their own crimes and to an increasingly common extent, the unjust laws.

There are two things inherently worse than executing criminals: Executing civilians, and not bringing criminals to justice. This picture with the US soldier over his victim sums up this well. (*contains gore, view with discretion)

I have been to china, but what I have seen is only the tip of the iceberg. I know a lot of Taiwanese buisnessnmen who have been jailed unconstitutionaly.. You only have to say one word wrong to the cops and they will beat you and jail you.

And to be honest, this article is not here to deface China.. These are for the people of these forum to read these news, no conspiracy, only reality.

I understand this article isnt to slam China, thats why from the start I said "Regarding SOME parts of this article".. I am referring to views of some people...

Regaring prison and Urban management (*cant understand this word, I used google translator for it. And I think it's wrong),

Honestly, our younger generations often complain saying "how dark this world is" (*The phrase in the inverted commas i dont really know how to translate it may be wrong). However I think in general society is still rather harmonious, it isnt as bad as how others say. For example some Korean dramas show China as a pile of mess, violence everywhere, weapons scattered everywhere (-_-) That is certainly too fake.

Okay, I helped translate what the person typed. My chinese isnt perfect, afterall it isnt my first language. After translating, the essence of what the person typed may be altered a little, and I cannot be 100% sure if what I translated is accurate. I apologise for any mistakes in translation and for the things I am unable to translate.

note: ------ means I dont know how to translate.

And by posting this translation, it doesnt mean that I agree/disagree with what the person typed. I just wanted to help translate, that's all. :)

Hi to all foreigner friends here. Im a China Chinese that was born and grew up in China. (My english has limits, I dont expect everyone to understand, but since the writer is able to gather chinese news I presume you may be able to understand Chinese)

Regarding this article I've got some things to say. Firstly, I feel that alot of foreigners dont understand China, most of the things you understand about china comes from the internet. The internet has both real and fake news, and people usually like to use sensational use, or not showing the full side of a incident to create a certain effect. Regarding two things that the article mentioned, the news I get from the internet should be real, but everything has other *backgrounds (sorry not sure how to translate this word), regarding Lu Jin Feng (*girl mentioned in story above. Hope I got her name right.), at that time it was year 1995, from then till the our current year 2009, it has already been 14 years. Currently the laws in our country have improved alot, every country continously strive to be better, taking something that happened 14 years ago to talk about China is unfair, -------. If you really want to talk about how China isnt good, you can talk about the Cutural Revolution, the effect might be better, because that indeed is ----. However we've changed, why hasnt others seen our improvements! If you guys have an interest in blood related --- pictures, you can google the 1998 "indonesia incident" (*Im directly translating, not sure if that's what it's called in english), that is truly a bloody disaster! Look how they cruelly killed our Chinese! Regarding Li San Xiu (*the first girl in the pictures above), according to what I know, she was executed because she killed a 4 year old boy. She doesnt have the same horrible experience as the Lu Jin Feng (*She is the girl mentioned in the story abv). If youre gonna use the girl above case to show how our current government is barbaric, uncaring, absurd, that is incorrect.

Of course, making a criminal offence like this public (*not sure if I got the meaning right), I disagree with it too. But such incidents like above, how many exactly are there in China? We cannot be sure of it just by generalising the situation of China with this one incident. This is like how every countries have murderers, but you can say the entire country are murderers!

Being a China Chinese, I admit our country has alot of problems. For example corruption. But our goverment is trying hard to change, why hasnt anyone taken notice of our goverment's efforts. Our --- have never encouraged the goverment to be corrupted, corruption is just a case by case person's problem, cant use that one person's factor to attack the entire country's goverment. We have 1/6 of the world's population (13 million, some other populations are way smaller than our country but even still faces the same problem), to control such a huge amount of people, it is not easy. Besides, to let this 1/6 of the world's population become richer, get better lives, we have always been working hard. Is such a goverment really that detestable?

Our country China is only 60 years old, she is still very young. On the contrary, America has how many years of history? Give us a few hundred years to develop first, making a judgement of us then isnt late either.

Regarding Sankaku Complex's recent articles, being a China chinese, I am a little upset.. Regarding discussing about our culture I am supportive, but why have you come to --- about the goverment? SC isnt anti-chinese right?

If everyone wants to understand the real side of China, it's best that you come down personally to china to see for yourself. Don't agree with just whatever others say, see it for yourself, see how china really is as a country.

Lastly, being a citizen of china, I am proud to be chinese, if there's a next life, be it 1000 years later, a million years later, I'd still want to be a China chinese.

"but since the writer is able to gather chinese news I presume you may be able to understand Chinese"

very saddly he cant, considering this god knows how he managed to pull off such an article,and the gore photos below, the inaccurate numbers?
omg artefact you must'be been "working really hard" to try to offer ppl sth to read....╯▽╰

>Cheoro

gj~~! tho i just skimmed throu

"...hat happened 14 years ago to talk about China is unfair, ——-. If ..."
search 严打 and you'll know what he/she mean, it was a period of time when gov. raelly wants/plans to do sth to show the ppl

"..the effect might be better, because that indeed is —-."
by saying 制 i think she means sth like crackdown/dictatorship,etc that sort of thing so the sentence connotes such meaning: if you want see how the gov.(in china/14 yeas ago)is depraved than your nowadays modern western perfect gov. system, go see the culture revolution.

"blood related — pictures, "
猎奇is rather a common word, search Baidu Zhidao or anyother ch sites, you'll get the meaning very easily

"..but why have you come to — about the.."
,hmm,how to say,, no counterpart words? he/she means , why are we bickering/ranting/reading this kind of things when just wanted to have some fun enjoying some nice pics or good work of ja. mangaka, or whatever, you know what i mean---tho he/she didnt say it that directly as i did here.

you know what?
being a racist and write racism/anti-whatever propaganda do make your views boost and your articles popular,
so just keep on, artefact,
there's 5000 years of history in china(or the whole human civilization) and 5000 years of crime story, you'll never be short of material to make your "subject-centered" site more "audience-centered" or, perhaps, rant-centered(as you so eagerly wished)?

soon there will be a sikaku-complex or whatever but at least game/anime/ero-centered site, and we get a place to go,, instead of your wonderfully audience-centered site .

If the article was on how stupid Americans are for sending death threats to AIG executives for getting bonuses instead of getting mad at their congressmen for giving the AIG execs the bonuses, would it be racist? I mean that is really stupid - like one of the stupidest things in the far less than 5000 year history of the United States. Plus, Congress followed that act by actually passing a punitive tax against the executives - the legislation for that tax endangers the very foundation of the rule of law in the United States. Talk about stupid.

If the article was about one of the numerous wrongful convictions and executions that have taken place in Texas, would it be anti-Texas propaganda?

Is there any criticism of China that is acceptable, or is anyone that does not agree with you a racist?

Who is this "we" you are talking about? Are you speaking for every Chinese person when you say "we get a place to go"?

I don't mean for this to sound like a personal attack or a "rant", I seriously do not understand you. Could you please clarify your post?

arguing(if it can be called so) with you alone lowered me so drastically that it makes me feel shameful that i had bothered with you

if you cant understand what others say and still cant after being explained again,, you can go home to your mom instead of humiliating yourself more by repeatedly trolling

is insolence the disguise of/reaction from the humiliation of having a poor comprehension?(dont worry buddy the onus's on your parents rather than you)
then,
my apology ,i should have been more considerate,,, had i known your poor brain capacity....

Please continue to reply, it rely boosts the views of this article and ensures that there will be more. I do understand you, I just want to make sure that there continues to be more content that you don't like and that you were actively involved in creating the situation you don't like.

I hope that you try to make a sikaku site, I hope you invest a lot of time into, and I hope it fails just like you do here.
